unless u have pics of all ages of yourself... thats pretty apparent then it would be u.... lmao i stole one off myspace... thought it was me! but it was my daughter i cant beleive how much she looks like me the older she gets

buttons is this really her??? wow you two do look like twins!!!

whoo hoot im 24 again!!! not

no this one is her

I know but you both are beauts!!!!!

damn hook your boy up ,




j/k

oh, you are very kind, Kevin


I do have a bike seat...

it's one of those quick release ones, though

convenient ,

and very easy for someone to grab it and dash

so, i take it off
and carry it with my helmet
in the store....

it is good for double duty, too
can be an effective weapon if need be....

sorry rapunzel i didnt mean to get off subject... i was saying with other pics and ones from all ages pretty much if you dont have a webcam you can tell that person is real too... and thanks fran... now i gotta take pic off cause everyone thinks i took a new pic maybe they think i smudged out the wrinkles too ok enough

then does that mean people really believe I look like Betty Boop????

its the internet, the playing field is wide open, if you cant play the game stay on the bleechers....photos, profiles, webcams, email, dont prove a thing...the only ligitimacy comes in a face to face encounter and even then there is no guarantee that the person is genuine....
Thats life, you takes your chances, hope for the best, plan for the worst....

by the way...this picture really isnt what I look like,,,

I highly doubt, such a prerequisite would ever be implemented.

I do understand and appreciate the concerns, however, implementing such a policy, would greatly limit growth.

As far as scammers go, Charles does a fantastic job of keeping them off the site. The mods do their fair share too.

What you all can do to help us out in this area, is to simply report any suspicious email or profile.

This sounds like a plan to me, thanks Mark, I think you all do a great job

And you and Charles are kinda cute

I have seen on here people having a profile with a picture of animals/cartoons/weird things----it's not even a photo of themselves.

The problem is that they can post anyone's picture. So do you trust that people are honest or do you worry that the picture is not really them?

Those thinking that a picture will tell you if the person is your own idea of "normal" doesn't mean a thing. How many people do you see on tv that looked so called "normal" and was some rapist or killer or drug dealer.

Personally I think a picture narrows down your field; if you are first looking at a photo. Why spend the time talking to someone and liking them as a possible long term relationship for it to end if they don't like the "package" so to speak.

Why be afraid. We are what we are. I believe that everyone is attracted to different types of people and that's what makes the world go around.

I figure.....Don't be afraid....post a recent picture of yourself. By doing do you are weeding out the people that are not attracted to you right away and the people that respond to you already know what you look like. (((Which does not tell them what type of person you are by any means))

Lots of reasons for not posting a picture and lots of reasons to post.

As far as the freaks and mental cases and killers/stalkers, etc. This internet and every dating site is their new expanded playground. Just be careful, always!

oh, Buttons...

no need to apologize....

i used to stress more,

but i have been so much more balanced now,

and happy and deal with things much better

I try hard not to sweat the small stuff...


and with this thread,

i see that there are no easy answers

regarding the scammer problem....

nothing is engraved in stone...

there are always exceptions to the rule...

I think that time is a good indicator, though ...

of course,

some are even more underlying & deceptive

& can be downright treacherous ...

however in my experience

with the online scammers

many of them are just trolling

for immediate victims

they just try to hit and run

only with your hair up ya know she is a pretty hot cartoon charachter

wtg why post a real pic then, Betty is so much prettier than I am maybe I shall responding to Betty as well sorry cold meds kicking in and I'm loving it

okay Miss Betty ...


have fun...

enjoy and relax ,

kick back sip some lemonade

& watch the clouds roll by

& the river run.....


peace and love

thanks for the feedback Mark....


Yes, You and Charles are very cute...


and so is our Scott <<< Kojack >>>

rock on sistah sistah
